Can a telephone jack give me internet? |  

Bro did this end up working having the same issue rn want to stream but my router downstairs and I need Ethernet

Thank you!!!!! I’m stoked thanks for commenting and watching the videos.

I would say yes, but as long as you have the same number of wires the only thing that matters is that you have the same on each end. The tough thing is keystone jacks go based on the colors i mentioned so you’ll have to figure that out

First is to open the jack and see what type of cable is used in the wall. Then if its RJ11 than you can’t wire any internet up, but if its RJ45/CAT5 than you can follow a video i have to wire up an RJ45 wall jack. Check my videos i have another more recent. Go to my channel > videos tab > scroll until you see the RJ45 cable video that should help

I have the same problem as you. The router is so far that wifi signal is weak. What about those RJ11 to RJ45 cable adapters selling online, will the work? What did you do to solve your weak wifi problem?

Thanks for commenting the port doesn’t matter there are only four so pick one. I don’t know why you’re asking if they are necessary this is less of a full tutorial and more of a vlog style documentary on the project I did felt it was good content. If you want to get one going fast there are a lot of variables to consider. Can you access your attic? Can you even run a cat 5/6 cable? Do you have a magnetic cord puller so you can get through the insulation if there is any? Can you afford to punch a hole in the wall and properly cover it with a wall plate for that “one” cable. Normally it’s not standard to run one cable so it would make no sense to build a network closet for one cable. I’d look up other videos that teach you how to run cables in a home and build a network closet.

I believe that’s a Coax port. I think you can connect it to a modem. I’m no expert tho so someone can fact check me here.

Late, but that is coax. Traditionally used for cable television or cable based internet modems.

This is an awesome response. I’ll explain the title was a “youtube title” meaning it grabbed people’s attention. In reality your idea is a great one but not something that would accurately explain what I’m doing it for. Also, this was more of a vlog than a “how to”. I don’t own the home i rent otherwise your correct i would have just done proper networking and ran cat6 instead of cat5 which is in the walls.

The device that needed poe wasn’t readily available i was setting it up for future use. I need a poe switch downstairs now for a WAP. Then because of the rona i need poe in my office now but that’s another story. Thanks for your comment hopefully you understand where I’m coming from now.

You need all wire pairs so unfortunately no

No. RJ11 isn’t capable of the speed.

Thanks!!!

@@WesleyFranks my house dosent have any labels for the wire is there any other way to distinguish them from each other expect from toner and trail and error

@@pejaywejay Unfortunately there isn’t my suggestion is to get a toner. If not that, then if you had enough slack about a foot or so. I’d just put a RJ45 head one the end you know (say your office) then go to where they are and just put a head on all the ones you can. Plug in a laptop on the office end with a continuous ping to google. Then, just trial and error until you find which one it is. I mean it’s just about trying what you can with what you can afford. I know it’s tough, but the answers are sometimes just trying what you can and not getting too annoyed or frustrated. It’s all difficult depending on the house. I lucked out with cat5 already in the wall.

Thank you!

Of course but it was more of a story and a tag along then it was a tutorial that’s why it’s not “how to do x y z”.

I asked the question can it give me internet and it did. That’s it. If you’d like more videos then ask for those.

ebay sells rj11 to rj45 adapters. do you know if these will provide same result as rewiring the jack like you did? thanks for the info.

It’s Cat5

Yes, I converted the cabling at the wall plate from RJ11 to RJ45 it is RJ45 CAT5e in the wall so it’s easy.

@@WesleyFranks ok

T568B standard search google and that’s the wiring I did mention that in the video.

I’m not perfect if I forgot I’ll try to remember in the next video.

You do also realize I’m human and mistakes happen?

T568b standard

Thanks!

@@WesleyFranks just trying to do everything in my power to get you to the recommended

Thank you so much!!! Much appreciated

@@WesleyFranks no problem. It was really helpful! Thank YOU 😀👍
